Business Profile

Our History

Haak Winery has been in business since 2000 and has established a stable and loyal customer base.

It all began in 1969 on the 10th wedding anniversary of Raymond and Gladys Haak. Gladys’s gifts to Raymond that year were two Concord grapevines. What began as a hobby turned into a great passion. With these and numerous other grape varietals that came after them, Raymond tested which varieties would survive the climatic conditions along the Gulf Coast of Texas. A few years later, Raymond read about a hybrid grape variety that was resistant to Pierce's Disease and grew well in dry, hot environments. It was called Blanc du Bois.

Haak became one of the first wineries in the country to cultivate Blanc du Bois and has consistently produced many medal-winning wines.

Texas Wine Industry

As of January 1, 2017, Texas is home to 400+ wineries and attracts over 1.8 million visitors annually. The Texas wine industry contributes over $13 billion in value to the state's economy. Over 95% of all Texas wines produced are consumed in the state. The Texas wine industry is a growing and dynamic industry.

Greater Houston Area

The greater Houston area, our major sales hub provides 7 MM + customers in a 60 mile radius, which includes Brazoria, Galveston and Harris Counties. We are between Houston and Galveston right off Hwy 6, one of the biggest traffic corridors going south. Additionally, the development around the winery is growing strongly, providing more customers closer to the winery.

What Haak Winery is known for

Haak is the only Texas winery that is grandfathered and can legally produce, label and sell a fortified Madeira wine. There are only a few wineries in America that are grandfathered and allowed to produce and label a wine as Madeira wine. This is paramount to owning a valuable piece of intellectual property and has a significant commercial potential to take the winery’s growth years into the future and plays a significant part in the winery’s commercial value.

Steady Growth

Haak wine production began in 2000 with a modest 1500 cases and has grown to a production capacity of more than 10,000 cases in 2018. Our wines have won 100s of awards which contributed to our stellar growth. Population growth, our wines' popularity, our broad services to the region’s population has encouraged us to add production capacity and winemaking equipment.
